Zoe Reszytniak Mrs. Malark APUSH 12/3/12 The Era of the Jacksonian Democrats Andrew Jackson?s presidency can be considered a paradox, as he usually promoted one thing, while actually doing another. While the Jacksonians regarded themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equal economic opportunity, they in fact violated all of these. The most prominent violations were the vetoing of the United States Bank, and the Indian Removal Act.
